GSA SmartPay® 2 is the name of the federal government’s purchase, travel and fleet charge card program. This program provides federal government cardholders a means to pay for commercial goods and services, travel and travel-related expenses, and vehicle fleet expenses. Additionally, the GSA SmartPay® 2 program is the primary mechanism used to purchase airline, rail and bus tickets at significantly reduced fares under the GSA City Pairs program.
In 1998, GSA awarded contracts to four banks to provide travel charge card services. Each agency issued a task order to one of the banks for travel charge card services. They are:
- Citibank
- JPMorgan Chase
- U.S.Bank
These contracts, collectively referred to as the GSA SmartPay® 2 “Master Contract,” are administered by GSA. Over 300 federal agencies and other authorized organizations participate in the GSA SmartPay® 2 program. Your agency/organization receives charge cards and related services through a task order(s) with the bank your agency/organization selected. The task order enables your agency/organization to directly work with one of the four GSA SmartPay® 2 banks that provide travel charge card services. Through your task order, you can request and set up accounts for cardholders, access the bank’s Electronic Access System (EAS) to manage the card program, and work directly with bank representatives to resolve card program issues or have your questions answered.
